i think alot of the issues with wireless is that it's a rushed technology....the first home wireless routers and wireless cards came out for computers and everyone went bonkers...they bought and bought and bought...then the centrino confusion (does it really help with wireless....debatable)...now there are wireless hot spots all over the planet....but is the technology where it should be? the security isn't what it could be....the transfer rates are deffinitely not where they should be...and there haven't really been many advancements in the architecture for quite some time...i can get gigabit speeds on my wired network....really fun with my t1 here at work...but if i were to use the wireless...54 mbps.. slooowdown...i just think the technology could be implimented beter...

im not sure if this has anythign to do with this topc but i think it does. I was speaking to a gateway tech and he informed me that sometimes windows xp needs to be cleared out by doing a system restore destructive. he said that sometimes after a year the wireless just goes to [bleep] and that will fix it. Sucky fix unless you back up your stuff pretty regularly.
